Well, guess I should do mine as well .... :)

Name: Raymond Lucas Hatfield

actually encourages and assists in my LBC addiction!
kids: 3, all boys - ages 16, 15, and 13
when first contracted the LBC addiction: As a young child, staring at the
wallpaper in my uncle's room (pics of Austin-Healeys, TR3s and MGAs)
First LBC: (father's) ? Sunbeam Alpine (personally owned) '76 Spitfire w/OD
Current LBC: '65 TR4-A IRS w/OD (restoring)

66 Plymouth Belvedere (shoebox on wheels)

65 Plymouth Barracuda (UGLY!)
65 Pontiac GTO Convertible (my first ragtop ... totaled by friend)

75 Vega (finally a second car ... paid $75 dollars for it and it leaked more
oil than ANY LBC!)

unloading the MG as a downpayment)
